What you say sounds good in theory.

But, for profit-driven businesses like Amazon, the goal isn’t to barely make money, but it is to maximize the amount of money coming in.

It was quite sad for me when "The OA" and "Mozart in the Jungle" were cancelled.

It's not like these companies are okay making less money in some projects, and making more money in a few. They want to _maximize_ money from all projects.

And niche shows are often cancelled.

The OA most likely would never have been made at all ten years ago.

My biggest disappointment was that 1899 was cancelled by Netflix. Shows like that can be watched decades afterwards.
